It's our first guests to the new apartment... Jerry and Jenna! You all remember those aren't their actual names, right? Gotta pay attention on this blog.
They came over on Sunday to check out my new digs, and also to accompany me to the Atlantic Antic, a yearly street festival, that as you can see in the picture, takes place on my street. It was a fun way to see all the restaurants and shops in my new neighborhood, and get outside after a long week with my ankle on ice. In addition to all the restaurants with tables and the usual fair fare, I was introduced to a new kind of food I've never seen before. The best way to describe it is a fried mozzarella sandwich with round corn bread instead of regular bread. I would have never thought to put these two things together. But hey, if Emeril makes them, they must be ligit (too legit?). It tasted like fried corn cakes with some gooey texture since street-fair quality mozzarella really doesn't have any flavor. I didn't even finish the entire thing and it filled me up, so sadly I wasn't able to taste any other foods there, except for sangria... because let's face it, there's always room for sangria.
There were a ton of stands for animal accessories. One had such cute stuff I just wanted to get a little dog to put in the shirts. If your dog is cooler than you are, visit www.spoiledrottendogz.com. My only non-food purchase all day was a new black and orange jar candle to add to my ever growing stash of Halloween goodies. It's right around the corner girls and boys... do you know your costume yet?
I took just a few pictures from the weekend and added them to my New York album. If you want to check them out you can click the link to the right under Photo Albums.
Yesterday was my last day in the Accenture New York office. I'm still working through Thursday from home but had to turn in my badge. I'm so excited about my new job this Friday, but it's still hard to leave Accenture... the people, the hours, the working in pajamas. I had to stop at H&M on my way home to secure another outfit for IO Media, as I have very few these days. I'll be working with a very cutting-edge client, so I have to look the part when I meet with them. I bet I have to behave like a responsible adult too. Huh.

It must have been sad to have a 'last day' at Accenture, even though the new career is clearly on its way. And, I know you will only buy the new food creation at the streets of NYC because there are way too many ingredients to make it yourself (ha ha). Great picture of the fare outside our apartment building window.
